Vanhemelrijck Law Offices
Se Habla Espanol - Our office is available evenings and weekends. Are you thinking about filing bankruptcy but you would like to speak with an attorney and have some of your questions answered before you schedule an appointment? Call us at 210-804-1529. We are happy to answer questions and we are available during the week, as well as evenings and weekends.

If you are looking into bankruptcy you are probably doing so as a last resort. A common misconception about people who file bankruptcy is that they are in financial trouble because they have lived lavishly and spent money irresponsibly. This is not at all what we are seeing here in San Antonio (and not what we are hearing from other bankruptcy attorneys throughout the country).
Services
As a client of our law firm, you will experience the personal attention of a small law firm with the resources of a large law firm. Your case will not be handled by a paralegal, but instead by an experienced and dedicated attorney. You do a great job, Robert! Your confidence in your knowledge of this subject matter quickly pours over into making your client comfortable with hope.
There are two main types (called "Chapters") of consumer bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Both chapters were designed to help individuals and families, who are struggling with debt, to get back on their feet. Bankruptcy is a legal and safe way to regain control of your finances. At Vanhemelrijck Law Offices, we understand that considering bankruptcy is difficult and that experiencing financial trouble is very stressful.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is designed to allow you to re-pay an affordable amount back to your unsecured creditors and to modify some of your secured loans. Chapter 13 will protect your home from foreclosure, car from repossession, wages from garnishment. Filing stops all collection and, depending on your assets and income level, it usually allows you to pay only a percentage of what is owed to your unsecured creditors i.e.
Attorney Robert Vanhemelrijck has extensive experience representing San Antonio area military personnel (active military, reservists, and veterans) in obtaining bankruptcy protection. If you are currently in the military or if you are a veteran, and you are considering Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, please read the information below.
If you live in the San Antonio (Bexar county or the surrounding counties) and your home is in foreclosure (or in danger of being in foreclosure), Attorney Robert Vanhemelrijck can help you save your home. Please beware of loan modification companies and mortgage companies promising to stop your home foreclosure.

Extremely responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. In my initial consultation, Robert helped me understand the details and impacts of an out of state case. He was able to access the court documents quickly, answered my questions, discussed some specific nuances unique to the case and provided some ideas for how to mitigate potential risk. Highly recommended!

From start o finish he was not only provide professional service, he was with me all the way. His supporting staff were also very courteous and did their job well.The services provided were excellent at a very reasonable but gave me enough time to make payments within my reach.The lawyer I will never forget and feel quite grateful for everything he did for me. His service happened ended in 2008. I still think of him as a lawyer who will go all the way to help. Hope and pray his business all the best.

This was one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make. Vanhemelrijck Law Firm and Especially Amy made this the easiest most trouble free experience I have ever had. This law firm is the best when it comes to caring for their clients and easing the anxiety. I was put at ease the second I spoke to Mr, Vanhemelrijck and Amy. I will recommend this law firm to anybody who needs it. They are amazing.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with the Vanhemelrijck team. Not only were their services affordable but they were quick to answer any questions I had (at no extra charge), and were incredibly comforting while dealing with a stressful situation. Amy is an absolute rockstar and made the entire process streamlined and easy to understand. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

He always answered my calls or emails in a timely manner. Cannot express how grateful I have been of Mr. Robert Vanhemelrijck. He is a great attorney who knows his stuff and has a great passion helping those in need.

My husband and I got into financial problems due to the extremely high Medicare Supplement Insurance. We tried to get the insurance company to help me find an alternative insurance but we kept getting the run around. We ended up havIng to use credit cards to help pay for food, gas and anything we needed. Unfortunately for the first time in our lives we has to get help through legal recourse. We were on Plumbers's and Pipfitters Local 142 insurance which my husband paid into for 40 years and it was ripped from ALL members that had retired supposedly because it was too expensive for the UnIon

Most excellent service for a difficult process. Everyone at this office is extremely helpful. When they were busy and swamped with calls, I would call into the office and only get voicemail... but someone would get a call back the same day and make sure I had what I needed.
I was never discouraged from asking random questions that might pop into my head before we filed, after we filed, or while waiting for the official discharge. I was even given the cell number for the lawyer so I could ask quick questions and get quick answers. I was never prompted to pay more than the originally discussed amount

I utilized this law firm for my bankruptcy. They were nothing but kind, informative and helpful. I had the pleasure of working with Amy and Robert. Whenever I had questions or concerns both of them were quick to answer me and help ease my anxiety. Amy helped put my mind at ease by being easy to talk to and down to earth. She did not judge me or make me feel bad about having to file at a very young age. Robert made the process seem almost seamless. When it came time for him to represent me at the meeting of creditors he made it a point to make sure I was prepared and not to be caught off guard by

Having faced a very difficult decision to seek financial relief, I sought the expertise of one who cared about the client and who could sympathize with the situation at hand. Robert and his staff treated me only with respect for the situation I was in and encouragement to seek the assistance to acquire relief from an untenable situation I was in. The fees levied were more than manageable. The guidance was always available. I never felt like an irresponsible individual or just another client.
